This is a select bibliography of English language academic level books and journal articles, published mainly after World War II,[a] about the history of the Kazakh famine (Asharshylyk) and its historical context.[b]

The Kazakh famine of 1930–1933, also known as the Asharshylyq,[c] was a famine in the Kazakh Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic, then part of the Soviet Union, during which an estimated 1.3 to 2.3 million people died, the majority of them ethnic Kazakhs.[3][4] Between 38 and 42 percent of all Kazakhs perished,[3][8][9] the highest proportion of any ethnic group killed in the Soviet famines of the early 1930s.

Works listed here are cited in the notes or bibliographies of scholarly sources.
